From HeraldNet.com:
State Sen. Jean Berkey, D-Everett, inched closer Tuesday to a full-fledged legal fight to keep her seat and prevent anyone from sitting in it next year.
Berkey lost the August primary but contends her defeat resulted from illegal actions by a Seattle political consultant, and she wants those results tossed out.
Last month, she asked Attorney General Rob McKenna to investigate whether Moxie Media and a political action committee it created violated election laws by not disclosing who paid for last-minute mailers Berkey contends misled voters and cost her the election.
